Dying Into Love, Birthing Truth
Friday, Sept. 12 to Sunday, Sept. 14

The theme of the upcoming weekend is Dying Into Love, Birthing Truth and will be explored through various ways including movement, creativity and a disowned parts ‘party’.  These weekends always give space to socialize and have fun in the Heart Field, to deepening relationships or making new ones.

To introduce the weekend theme, we share our personal experiences below…

From Sharon:

Dying Into Love, Birthing Truth. Rumi has much to say on this theme. In my favourite poem, Rumi captured the moment of my initiation into the Way of the Heart. A conversation between Lover and Beloved, it begins;

I would love to kiss You
The price of kissing is your life

I was on retreat in Italy when I experienced such a ‘conversation’. Standing before a statue of Jesus said to have oracular powers, I looked up expectantly into his eyes. I felt Him lean down and kiss me on the lips. This kiss energetically conveyed the intimate connection between my deep desire for Love and Love’s Demand; an unimaginable Love in exchange for my ‘self’ and all the barriers this ‘self’ perpetuates against the very Love it yearns for. Rumi has the Lover shouting in response ‘what a bargain! Let’s buy it!’

My heart’s shout still echoes through my life all these years later encouraging me to persist through the ordeal of meeting Love’s demand for the ‘pearl beyond price’.

From Danielle:

I was brought up with my mother’s lies and deception which she wielded as means of controlling me. I slithered and spun around in this oil slick for many years; never knowing what the truth was. I did not realize at the time that this would, in fact, form a large part of my Sadhana. Of course, I had no way of knowing that actually this modus operandi was the pivotal force of the world created in man’s quest for domination and power: The World of Lies.

This Sacred Journey has blossomed into a deepening transparency, where I am stepping out of the Shadow and speaking, being and living Truth more and more. It might be old but it still works: ‘The Truth will set You free.‘
